FLAT-EROH HANDLE AND SCEAHIQ.

Application filed June 26, 1913.

To all QUZIOHI- it may concern Be it known that I, HARRY GREENVOOD, Sn. citizen of the United States, residing at Barnesboro, in the county of Cambria and State or Pennsylvania, have invented 'a new and useful Flatiron Handle and Stand, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved handle and stand for sad irons.

An object is to provide a handle and rest which can be easily and cheaply manufactured, the entire construction being integralwith the exception of a wooden handle portion.

Another object is to provide an improved construction in combination with a sad iron handle in which the iron may be supported upon its side. A

Another object is to so construct the side stand that the liability of the bending and distorting of the same will be in a large degree eliminated.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combinat on and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood. that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, can be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings accompanying this specification and forming a part thereof, the preferable form-of my invention is illustrated, wherein Figure 1 is a view in elevation of a sad iron with my improved handle and stand attaolmd thereto. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same, and Fig. 3 is an end elevation showing the sad iron supported upon the stand. Y

curved as illustrated in Fig. 1 and is of the usual type of sad iron handle. Formed integral with the body portion 2 of my improved device and extending horizontally therefrom adjacent the ends thereof are the outstanding portions 5 which extend beyond the upper edge of the iron body portion 1. These outstanding members are bent downwardly as at 6 to form the-verticallegs or portions 7 These portions 7 extend downward over the edge of the sad iron and tenminate short of the base thereof so as not to interfere with the ordinary use of the iron. The downwardly extending portions 7 are connected at their ends by the substantially horizontal strip 8 which forms a member of the stand portion of my improved device.

The portions 7 and 8 as illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3 are spacedfa distance from the edge of the sad iron and in order that the portions 7 may be prevented from being bent inward, an integral lug 9 is formed substantially at the center of the portion 8 and eX- tends inward and contacts with the side wall of the sad iron, this construction forming a support for. the portion 8 and materially to be restedupon its side during the non-use thereof, all of which features combine to form a desirable and novel article of manu-' .1!
